Chocolate Eves Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the apples finely.
• Grease a 1 pint fireproof dish and place half the apples in it. Add the sugar and cloves then place the remainder of the apples on top.
• Cream the butter and sugar together then add the beaten egg a little at a time. Add the sifted flour to this mixture and mix well.
• Grate as much of a good quality chocolate bar as you wish into the mixture and mix well again.
• Spread over apples and bake until the sponge is firm and lightly browned.
• Serve directly from the dish and enjoy! If you're not serving it to the kids, you may wish to substitute the chocolate for chocolate liqueur.
• How much you use is again, entirely up to you!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and grease an 8 1/2-inch square ovenproof dish with butter.
• Drain the pears and arrange them on the base of the prepared dish. Put all the remaining ingredients in a processor and blitz until you have a batter with a soft dropping consistency.
• Spread the brown batter over the pears, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes and then cut into slabs - I cut 2 down and 2 across to make nine slices - and serve with chocolate sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of butter with the brown sugar, and pour into a 10-inch round cake pan. Coat the bottom of the pan evenly with the mixture. Quarter the plums and arrange them neatly to cover the bottom of the pan.
• Cream the remaining butter with the sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, and beat in the egg yolks one at a time.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, and add them to the batter alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Whisk the egg whites until they hold a slight shape. Fold the egg whites into the batter a third at a time until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread it evenly over the plums. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the top is browned and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 20 minutes, and then turn over onto a cake plate. Serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Peel, core and slice the apples. Grease a large serving dish, about 2.5 litre/3 litre with 25g/1oz of the butter and tip in the apple. Scatter the raisins over the top.
• In a separate dish beat the remaining butter and sugar together for 10 mins until the butter turns pale and the sugar starts to dissolve. Beat in the eggs, then carefully fold in the flour with a large spoon. Spread the batter over the apples, then bake for 45 mins until golden. Serve with the custard, below.
